No.

I already did. I have a source tree where the bidi code is merged
with the current trunk, and I merge them as needed all the time.
That's where I do all the development beyond what's on the bidi branch
(which is dead, as far as I'm concerned). I can keep it that way
forever, but I'd prefer to have it in the repository soon, because
others might wish to work on it.

Why not the other way around: make a branch for Emacs 23.x, and leave
Emacs 24 on the trunk? I think Yidong suggested that, and I think
it's a better idea. We never left the mainline of our development on
a branch before.

I guess that's a NO, but please note that this code, however unstable,
is never executed unless the user flips a variable. So I don't see
how it can destabilize the default configuration by being dead
ballast.
